| 12:10.20 | formi | define tiny! |
| 12:12.24 | magnusth | tiny.com |
| 12:13.08 | formi | so not tiny as in really small? |
| 12:13.28 | magnusth | nope... actually it's more the price that's tiny |
| 12:14.04 | formi | i would get a live cd of the distro you plan to run and head for the shop |
| 12:16.30 | magnusth | yeah, I've thought of that, and I will, what I worry about is the wifi |
| 12:17.13 | magnusth | from what I've understood support for wifi in Linux is somewhat spotty |
| 12:17.49 | magnusth | and there is a big chance my live-CD of choice (Ubuntu live) might not come with the needed drivers |
| 12:18.25 | magnusth | any tips on what I should look for, what info I need to find out if the chip is supported or not? |
| 12:18.41 | formi | do you have a url for the specific model? |

| 12:24.36 | formi | i have 15" 1600x1400 and would like more |
| 12:25.09 | formi | do you plan to do much heavy duty compiling with it? |
| 12:25.20 | magnusth | wow, I've been thinking a little about it, but thought 1024x768 would be enough... |
| 12:26.07 | formi | I see no point in having such a powerfull machine with so little resolution |
| 12:26.40 | magnusth | anyway, we are drifting off the subject... no matter what laptop I choose off their site I wouldn't know if the wifi card is supported in Linux |
| 12:26.53 | formi | my Thinkpad a22p cost about £700 and it is more than enough |
| 12:27.17 | formi | you can always add a pcmcia/carbus wifi card |
| 12:27.58 | formi | do you live in London? |
| 12:28.22 | magnusth | nope, live in Cambridge |
| 12:29.17 | formi | I would suggest you look at Thinkpads or Toshibas |
| 12:30.23 | magnusth | yes, I've heard thinkpads are well supported under Linux, that's something you can confirm? |
| 12:30.34 | formi | yes |

| 12:43.27 | magnusth | I've been looking through the IBM pages again, and only one R series has support for 1400x1050 (highest res), and it's listed at 1050 pungs :( |
| 12:43.32 | magnusth | pounds I mean |
| 12:44.12 | formi | the R series are the cheapest, biggest in size |
| 12:45.00 | formi | the T23s and T30s are nice, and they have 1400x1050, at least the ones we have at work |
| 12:46.50 | formi | there are some shops that specialize on brand new "no longer sold directly by ibm" laptops |
| 12:47.22 | formi | one of them is Shyamtronics in TCR London, that is where get our laptops from |
| 12:47.55 | magnusth | hmm, sounds like something worth checking out, because the ones on the IBM pages are quite a bit over the budget I've set for myself |
| 12:48.30 | formi | what are you going to use the laptop for? |
| 12:49.55 | magnusth | home use, networking, programming, so I've decided on 512Megs and 60-80G disk |
| 12:50.10 | formi | i have a Thinpad 570 wich is a P2 366 with 192Ram with FreeBSD running on it and it is quite snappy |

| 17:04.20 | Leeds | rhowe: so, would you consider £319.10 for a direct return to HK on VIrgin to be good? |
| 17:08.30 | rhowe | Leeds: including taxes? |
| 17:08.35 | Leeds | yes |
| 17:08.38 | rhowe | yes |
| 17:08.48 | rhowe | Is that without using any of your air miles or anything? |
| 17:08.50 | Leeds | yes |
| 17:09.01 | Leeds | unfortunately it's no good for me :-( maximum stay 1 month |
| 17:09.01 | rhowe | I've never flown for under 400 quid including taxes |
| 17:09.18 | rhowe | Once it cost me 680 |
| 17:09.44 | rhowe | That was flying to HK and back from Shanghai though |
| 17:09.59 | rhowe | In the summer |
| 17:10.11 | Leeds | £503.10 is the price they're quoting for the 2-month trip |
| 17:10.34 | rhowe | Sounds more reasonable for a last minute booking |
| 17:10.41 | rhowe | (3 weeks is pretty last minute :) |
| 17:11.00 | rhowe | what dates are you after |
| 17:11.01 | rhowe | ? |
| 17:11.13 | Leeds | I;m contemplating spending the extra to get a premium economy seat |
| 17:11.35 | Leeds | either one includes more than enough miles to get a one-step, one-sector upgrade |
| 17:12.00 | Leeds | approximately 5th May to 3rd July - but the return should be flexible or at least cheap to change |
| 17:13.04 | Leeds | premium economy return is about £1300 |
| 17:15.31 | rhowe | got a Quantas one here for 294 + tax |
| 17:15.44 | rhowe | return within 12 months |
| 17:15.58 | Leeds | direct? |
| 17:16.30 | rhowe | Probably |
| 17:16.41 | rhowe | Virgin is showing 424 + taxes for 12 month ticket |
| 17:16.53 | rhowe | Qantas Airways |
| 17:16.53 | rhowe | offers non-stop service |
| 17:16.55 | rhowe | Yup |
| 17:17.59 | rhowe | They don't fly from London on Thursday 5th though |
| 17:18.07 | rhowe | They do fly Friday, however |
| 17:18.28 | rhowe | hmm.. not showing return as possible in July |
| 17:18.40 | Leeds | are you looking on their site? |
| 17:18.59 | rhowe | travelocity |
| 17:19.02 | Leeds | ah |
| 17:19.18 | rhowe | I said "show me the fares between May and July" |
| 17:19.31 | Leeds | thing is, I've sort of bouoght into the whole loyalty thing - I like Virgin, and I like collecting their points ;-) |
| 17:19.49 | rhowe | Well Quantas isn't an option anyhow :) |
| 17:20.11 | Leeds | and I quite like the idea that I can get something between economy and business/first for a vaguely affordable price |
| 17:20.58 | rhowe | Well, I'll get to Virgin in a mo :) |
| 17:21.03 | rhowe | For Cathay, it's saying: |

| 17:21.12 | rhowe | 12:45 Depart - London Heathrow, UK (LHR) |
| 17:21.31 | rhowe | (there were 2 other options for departing London, later in the day( |
| 17:21.32 | rhowe | Fri, 06 May |
| 17:21.33 | rhowe | 08:00 Arrive - Hong Kong (HKG) |
| 17:21.39 | rhowe | Sun, 03 Jul |
| 17:21.45 | rhowe | 15:20 Depart - Hong Kong (HKG) |
| 17:21.46 | rhowe | 21:05 Arrive - London Heathrow, UK (LHR) |
| 17:21.53 | rhowe | (no other options for coming back on that day) |
| 17:21.59 | Leeds | I think I prefer the later departure... |
| 17:22.01 | rhowe | Total Price = GBP 481.10 |
| 17:23.00 | rhowe | 1825 (arr. 1320) or 22:35 (arr. 1735) |
| 17:23.11 | Leeds | 1825 sounds better |
| 17:23.16 | rhowe | I don't think it affects the price or anything |
| 17:23.46 | rhowe | same return flight offered as an option |
| 17:24.12 | Leeds | the return is largely irrelevent, since I don't know when I'd be wanting to return - could well be earlier or later |
| 17:24.34 | rhowe | OK, same price for that option |
| 17:24.57 | rhowe | <PROTECTED> |
| 17:25.07 | rhowe | <PROTECTED> |
| 17:25.33 | Leeds | that's fair enough - I think I'm going to want to come back sooner or later, even if it's just to pack up my flat and go back :-) |
| 17:25.34 | rhowe | <PROTECTED> |
| 17:25.34 | rhowe | Re-routing after departure is not permitted |
| 17:25.49 | rhowe | I wonder how they enforce no cancellations? :) |
| 17:25.55 | rhowe | Drag you onto the plane, perhaps? |
| 17:26.08 | Leeds | I assume it means no refunds rather than no cancellations |
| 17:26.52 | rhowe | hm, session cancelled on travelocity |
| 17:27.03 | Leeds | I was tempted to get the cheap Virgin return and treat it as a single - just buy another single (or even a return in the other direction if I was coming back to the UK then returning to HK a few weeks later) |
| 17:27.31 | rhowe | it usually costs more to buy a ticket in HK to come to the UK than it does to buy a ticket in the UK to go to HK |
| 17:28.11 | rhowe | Time to give Virgin a shot |

| 19:30.59 | Leeds | but I need to wait a day or two for my c/c to cycle |
| 19:31.08 | Leeds | well, don't *need* - want |
| 19:31.15 | rhowe | Well there's Virgin (prices higher when I come to book - may be too much), Air France (heard bad things about lost luggage), KLM (not an enjoyable flight last time), BA (inflight entertainment sucks), Lufthansa (not tried), Quantas (Sarah said they were OK), Cathay (expensive by the time I come to book, most likely), Finnair, Srilankan Airlines, Swissair, Aeroflot, Emirates (quite liked last time), then it gets above 400+tax |
| 19:31.37 | rhowe | Only Virgin, BA, Cathay and Quantas fly direct |
| 19:31.43 | rhowe | Though I don't mind a stopover |
| 19:31.50 | Leeds | Cathay were very nice when I flew with them last time |
| 19:31.58 | rhowe | Yes, they are. I like Cathay |
| 19:32.12 | Leeds | I would avoid Aeroflot unless - and possibly even if - someone was pointing a gun at my head |
| 19:32.53 | rhowe | My first choices for flying to HK would be Cathay or Virgin (about equal, I'd say), Emirates, and for ones I haven't tried Singapore Airlines or Quantas |
| 19:33.00 | rhowe | BA I'm pretty indifferent about |
| 19:33.07 | rhowe | I dunno, Aeroflot sounds fun :) |
| 19:33.16 | rhowe | A stopover in Moscow could be interesting |
| 19:33.16 | Leeds | been there, done it |
| 19:33.38 | Leeds | I like Virgin - like the service, seats, particularly the entertainment, and the points :-) |
| 19:33.54 | rhowe | I never fly in a class that earns any points to speak of :P |
| 19:34.05 | rhowe | I've never been able to claim air miles |
| 19:34.39 | Leeds | I've been collecting virgin points on work trips for the past few years, plus I got a Virgin c/c which gives me 1 mile/£ and I've got a few points in a hotel scheme which I can transfer over |

| 19:35.03 | Leeds | ibot change 4864 hkd to gbp |
| 19:35.15 | rhowe | I've actually earnt more air miles by buying things than I have by flying\ |
| 19:36.34 | Leeds | well, in the past year I've earned over 22k miles from points, and I certainly haven't spent that much on my c/c :-) |
| 19:36.40 | Leeds | miles from flying, that is |
| 19:37.39 | Leeds | thing is, taking the premium flight gives me about 18k miles just from the flight, another 1.3k from the c/c paying for it, and I don't think that includes the 1.5k bonus for booking online |
| 19:38.27 | rhowe | Can't say I've ever booked online either ;) |
| 19:38.34 | rhowe | Travel agents have always found me slightly better fares |
| 19:38.55 | Leeds | I've just assumed that's not been the case for years |
| 19:40.51 | rhowe | Had good experiences with both the company travel agent (who you call, tell what you want and they call back later) |
| 19:40.58 | rhowe | and the flight centre is pretty good |
| 19:41.10 | Leeds | I no longer have a company travel agent :-) |
| 19:41.43 | Leeds | and the one time I've tried the flight centre, BA's website beat them |
| 19:42.00 | rhowe | Yes, BA's website is pretty good |
| 19:42.30 | rhowe | I'm still suprised that they were allowed to register a 2 letter domain |
| 19:43.13 | Leeds | they probably got it before the rules were put in place |
| 19:43.37 | Leeds | yeah, 1993 :-) |
| 19:45.19 | rhowe | BA say 343 quid for a trip in June |
| 19:45.21 | rhowe | all in |
| 19:45.51 | rhowe | Oh well, I'll take another look at the end of the month and make a choice then |
| 19:46.04 | rhowe | Advantage of a visit in June is that for once, Sarah won't be at uni and she shouldn't yet be working |
| 19:47.16 | rhowe | now, is 4 quid a bit much for postage for a HD |
| 19:47.40 | Leeds | no |
| 19:49.39 | rhowe | http://tinyurl.com/dfl78 |
| 19:49.44 | rhowe | Do I bid, or do I not? |
| 19:50.05 | rhowe | I actually want a 2G one, but nobody seems to be selling |
| 19:50.21 | rhowe | It's not even sold as working |
| 19:50.34 | Leeds | if it works, buy it |
| 19:50.46 | Leeds | I would say it's implied that it's working unless mentioned otherwise |
| 19:54.04 | rhowe | hm, well there are no better offers on ebay price+postage-wise |
| 19:59.06 | rhowe | Himalaya is up for a BAFTA? |
| 19:59.06 | rhowe | Isn't it 20 years old? |
| 20:08.01 | Leeds | huh |
| 20:08.02 | Leeds | ? |
| 20:09.56 | rhowe | Himalaya, the TV programme |
| 20:09.59 | rhowe | Isn't it old? |
| 20:10.31 | Leeds | not *that* old, no |
| 20:10.57 | rhowe | hm, it just looked like it was made in the 80's |
| 20:11.19 | Leeds | October 2004 according to tvtome |
| 20:12.00 | Leeds | I don't think he was doing travelogues in the 80s |
| 20:12.25 | rhowe | Really? I didn't realise it was done recently. Thought it was a rerun |
| 20:12.29 | rhowe | "The Flying Pasty had an email from one of our party members Matthew Canning, a.k.a Count Punkula II, our Shadow Minister for the reduction of cheese-related accidents" |
| 20:13.32 | Leeds | ah, 1989 was his first, according to imdb |
| 20:13.46 | Leeds | I love living in a world with that sort of useless information to hand :-) |
| 20:15.38 | rhowe | http://omrlp.brinkster.net/Manicfesto2005.asp |
| 20:17.14 | Leeds | "Any Home Secretary claiming to have more children than necessary will be made to run the House Of Commons Crèche. " |
| 20:18.20 | rhowe | " Bright pupils will be provided with dimmer switches to prevent them distracting the rest of the class. " |
| 20:18.58 | rhowe | "The number 13 will be abolished due to its longstanding unpopularity. The bus to Acton North will now not have a number on it but not much else will be affected. Therefore if you see a bus with no number on it, it will be going to Acton North. Please remember this for future reference." |
| 20:18.58 | Leeds | and so on :-) |
| 20:20.54 | rhowe | haha I love the policy for stopping congestion |
| 20:22.01 | Leeds | heh |
| 20:22.19 | rhowe | "Drivers will be allowed to drive over roundabouts when there’s nothing about. This will make driving through Milton Keynes much more fun." |
| 20:22.46 | Leeds | don't suppose you know where to get a tachnuke? we really need to do something about jamster |
| 20:23.02 | rhowe | jamster? |
